The wait has ended

hi,
It was last in January I suppose when our wing’s toilets were closed for rennovation and the junta had to walk something like half a mile to do the daily chores. Given the fact that we used to take bath once every fortnight when the wing bathrooms were open, the tendency to bath died altogether when the bathrooms closed. It was such a pain in the ass ( and elsewhere ) to go to other wing’s loos for leaking that we used to go only when any further wait would have led to diastrous outbursts from various locations in the body. Some of our wingmates ( like Shezzy ) started living in the other wings to avoid problems. The problems went so high that people used to identify the junta from our wing by the characterstic G-mid ( that’s my wing ) smell. We used to curse our maintenance secretary Nishith Khantal for all this.

The hall residents were close to kick the shit out of our bases when one fine day ( that was two days ago ) the bathrooms and toilets reopened. Ahh what a feeling. As I entered the bathroom and saw the brand new hangers and showers I was bound to speak what Firdaus said about Kashmir : Gar firdaus bar rue zamin ast hamin ast, hamin ast, hamin ast! (“If there is paradise on the face of the earth, it is here, it is here, it is here!”).

I am off to bathing now…in my heaven.
Till we meet again,
